In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Chapter 352 353

"I need to ensure the player's main quest proceeds smoothly first."

"The ball was either hit from my side or burst mid-air on my side of the field, so according to the rules, I'm out."

"And since there's no one else on my side of the field, I can't call [BACK] either."

At this point, Razor chuckled again, "So, in short, this dodgeball match is my loss."

"Congratulations to you all for winning this match."

"As promised, we will follow the storyline and leave here. Your mission is complete."

Razor's words drifted clearly over the field.

Though it was rare for such an epic-level task to be completed so easily, or rather, with almost no effort, Gon wasn't as joyful as he had anticipated. Instead, he clenched his fists tightly.

"Feeling unsatisfied, huh?"

Beside him, Killua had his hands behind his head, understanding Gon's thoughts as he spoke.

"Not being able to contribute or help much, and just relying on others' strength to get this card."

"If we weren't a team gathered with enough numbers, perhaps you wouldn't even want the card, right?"

Killua understood Gon's stubborn mindset all too well.

"Yeah..."

Gon murmured with his head down.

"So, if you don't want to experience this kind of situation again, you need to work harder in the upcoming game life!" Biscuit chimed in from behind.

"Yeah, I understand!"

Gon nodded vigorously, his eyes seemingly burning with a fiery determination.

"Biscuit, after this match, please train us hard!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Biscuit replied enthusiastically.

Killua: "?????? Hey! I think it's better to focus on the game first, don't make decisions on your own!!"

Anyway, this dodgeball battle finally concluded with Razor's nod.

During the period, Gon specifically asked Razor about Ging.

But the answer was...

"Ging is not on this island right now, and I don't know where exactly he is."

This answer was something Gon had considered before, so it wasn't unexpected, but disappointment was inevitable.

However, he quickly regained his spirits.

Since they didn't meet this time, it must be for a better reunion next time!!

Thus, the No.2 card, [One Acre of Coastline], the hardest to obtain in the Greed Island storyline, was finally in hand.

The card limit was three copies, and after obtaining the main card, they quickly used [Copy] to create two duplicate cards.

Before using [Paladin's Necklace] to identify the copied cards, Gon and his team would exclusively hold onto this card.

"So, is the main card for us?"

In front of the dark lighthouse, Phinks waved the main card and asked.

"Yeah, since you guys faced Razor, we could clear it so easily."

Gon replied earnestly, "We didn't really do much, so having the copied card is enough for us. After all, it can still be used as a designated card."

"Alright then."

Phinks wasn't one to fuss, so he didn't say more and kept the card.

"So, what do you plan to do next?"

Killua asked.

"Now that we've got the hardest card, we're planning to find other players and take the cards we want from them." Feitan said bluntly, not hiding his intentions.

"I see..."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Killua didn't react much.

In his view, all players entering the Greed Island game were gambling with their lives, knowing the risks.

Of course, this isn't to say that killing is justified.

However, in the past, most of the people Killua assassinated didn't have such awareness.

Perhaps compared to Feitan and the Bomberman Genthru, he was even more detestable.

After all, to those he killed, it was like being suddenly slain by a back alley murderer.

"There aren't many players left with the cards we want, just that group, right?" Phinks thought for a moment and looked at Feitan beside him.

"Hmm?"

Feitan responded dully, "The ones called the Bomberman Genthru."

"If we take them out, we should be able to clear the game, right?"

"Maybe, who knows?"

The two chatted idly, then bid farewell to Gon and the others.

Phinks took out a spell card.

"Use [Accompany], Genthru!!"

Instantly, the two turned into a blue-white beam of light, shooting toward the distant sky.

Watching them leave, Gon took a deep breath.

---

"Alright, let's start the special training now!!"

Gon looked eagerly at Biscuit and the nearly hair-standing Killua beside him.

"Since you're ready for this commitment~??" Biscuit covered her mouth, chuckling, "Let's begin then!!"

"Uh..."

Killua, feeling a bit uneasy, said, "I'll go see off the others. They seem to have other things to attend to."

"Hurry back, little Killua. I've prepared a special training plan just for you!!"

Killua: "..."

I should probably take my time coming back. It doesn't sound like anything good.

Milluki and Kalluto planned to leave after the match ended. They weren't interested in the cards, or rather, collecting cards wasn't their main goal for entering the game.

Milluki just wanted to understand how this game operates,

more for investigation than actual play.

If not for Kalluto's insistence, he would have left long ago.

Kalluto's main goal was to assist Killua, but now it seems they can't offer much help.

After the dodgeball match, they had no reason to stay.

Goreinu also left after obtaining a duplicate card.

Although they didn't fight side by side, they formed a decent friendship after getting to know each other.

Thus, this dodgeball battle concluded in such a manner.

The progress on Greed Island was vastly different from before, while in the virtual network space,

Morin and Ging continued to verify the many pieces of information about the Dark Continent.

"By the way, did you do something to get the old man to go against the majority and award you the title of a three-star hunter?"

The two were chatting while flipping through books.

Ging casually asked, curious about Morin's experiences.

Morin becoming a three-star hunter wasn't a secret in the Hunter Association.

Even with all his achievements, Netero didn't break the rules to raise his star rank.

Perhaps Netero considered it, but more likely he was concerned about the entire association's feelings, suppressing the idea.

Given Ging's tendency to annoy everyone in the association, promoting him without precedent might have sparked a major uproar.

"Just a small commission with Netero,"

Morin replied nonchalantly, "Recently, V5 plans to test if the Sixth Continent is ready to venture into the Dark Continent."

"So they're planning to bring over a species from the Dark Continent for some experiments."

"Netero commissioned me to investigate this, and upon completion, I received this reward."

You call that a small commission?

"What kind of species?!"

—Mentioning anything about the Dark Continent piqued Ging's interest.

TN: I decided to show you what I'm talking about he's ranting too much look how long that is.

To speak frankly...

Through our conversations, I could tell she was really naive, truly a girl well-protected by her family.

After all, she comes from a scholarly family, free from much of the world's filth, and unaffected in raising their children.

They lack nothing materially or spiritually, living quite comfortably.

Given my circumstances, I might not be able to match up.

But my master encouraged me, saying she wasn't looking for someone from an overly privileged family.

Her family didn't aim to climb higher; scholars tend to be more aloof~~~

All they wanted was someone who would cherish her, living a modest and harmonious life. They didn't overly care about the man's family background, especially since her dowry included a marital house in the city under her name...

With such favorable conditions, if I don't seize this opportunity, I'd be unworthy.

We chatted briefly before her students came out after class.

I had to bid her farewell so as not to disrupt her work.

We didn't delve into deep topics, just some light conversation.

It's necessary to mention, her smile is truly beautiful.

The kind that makes your heart race.

Tall and outstanding, standing there, she's the most beautiful and eye-catching goddess.

In my eyes, she's a muse.

Previously, it was just a little teasing, but this time, I want to have a serious conversation and see if I can truly succeed!! My fighting spirit is blazing intensely.

So...

I'm begging all the experts again, how should I pursue a girl?!

Heartfelt, sincere pleading!!

Your suggestions are the greatest motivation for the author's updates!!?
